The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Unpremeditated Manhattan

Their meeting, first time, was merry.
The flip from her lips, bit airy.
   Her drink could sink ships.
   She takes sip and quips,
“Would you like to eat my cherry?”

Kim, it was obviously a Manhattan you were drinking and not an Old Fashioned. The former has a lot more spice and according to Google is brazen but sophisticated. Your limerick made me laugh and I haven't touched any alcohol. :) Cheers - Gary
